Reminder: before publishing anything Ed or someone else should check
we are dealing with missing data in the correct way. e.g. in some
datasets combining multiple countries into developing or developed when
for early years some countries’ data are missing.
GDP, FDI, and trade
- For this plot GDP is real (2015 US$) pulled straight from
UNCTADstat,
- FDI and trade are converted to (real 2015 US$) using the implied cpi
from UNCTAD_stat for the world extracted from UNCTAD GDP data. Maybe we
can discuss whether or not this is the best strategy. But I thought it
better than putting growth in nominal variables and growth in real
variables in the same chart.

GDP Growth Rate
- UNCTADstat
- growth rate of real GDP (2015 US dollars) at market exchange
rates
FDI Growth Rate
- UNCTADstat
- FDI flow inwards, US current dollars
GFCF Growth Rate
- world bank WDI (NE.GDI.FTOT.CD)
- growth rate of current dollars
- using world banks own world classification, but summing up over
countries for developing and developed
Trade Growth Rate
- UNCTADstat
- growth rate of exports + imports
Debt (as % of GDP) Growth Rate
- from world bank WDI
- growth rate of debt as a % of GDP
- World is world banks own category, developing and developed are the
sum of all developing and developed countries, thats why it goes back
further, and need to check how many countries it even hasvalues
for.
Debt Growth Rate (World of Debt)
- from world of debt, ultimately from IMF data.
- growth rate of debt in US$
- values got by adding individual countries together to make the
group. need to check if countries are missing.
